Hi Linus, As expected (reported by David Fries), today's linux-next build (powerpc ppc64_defconfig) failed like this: In file included from include/linux/tracehook.h:52, from arch/powerpc/kernel/signal.c:13: include/linux/security.h: In function 'security_ptrace_traceme': include/linux/security.h:1760: error: 'parent' undeclared (first use in this function) Caused by commit 5cd9c58fbe9ec92b45b27e131719af4f2bd9eb40 ("security: Fix setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable()"). The version of this commit that has been in the linux-next tree from Aug 8 to Aug 15 is correct, so I have no idea what happened. More care needed ... I applied the following patch from David Fries. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2008 20:17:11 -0500 From: David Fries <david@xxxxxxxxx> To: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, jmorris@xxxxxxxxx, linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, linux-security-module@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Fix setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() The first two submissions this patch had parent for the argument, the third one has child then parent and fails to compile with SECURITY disabled.
